Description
Not long after this picture, I had to hurry up and get on board as the train was about to leave.Let me tell you, for one, this engine and it's brother 0-4-0 #2, both have awesome American whistles. My installation of a bigger whistle on my LGB Stainz #1, is certainly not far fetched...

Ornstein & Koppel?
And for the LGB I would suggest either a steamboat whistle, or that of a factory engine.

Cripple Creek?
Didn't know they had a mally. Last time I checked on them, they had the one 0-4-0. Most beautiful locomotive. They look really cool with the tube pilot, lamp and smoke box arrangements.

Then you'd better take that up with #1 here - Under the assumption that it will listen when you tell it that its 109 years of being built this way is apparently wrong.

Dude. Yes.
I was looking into this railroad recently and had basically concluded it one of the coolest tourist railroads ever.
I be jealous. : /

I have studied this valve gear before via photographs and movies, but, I must admit, without being able to study it in person and in 3-D, I have been unable to comprehend its workings myself.
I can tell you that the short, red-painted rod has a "fixed" pivot point at its right end (from our perspective looking at the photo above) and that its left end is pushed up and down by the vertical eccentric rod. The red rod's "fixed" pivot point may be able to be moved higher or lower by a bell crank connected to the reverser control. How this would facilitate reversal in any case escapes me.

I AGREE COMPLETELY mate. it is baffling me, and things dont usually baffle me. I also surmised that the quadrants may be in board, but how this would very the timing on a hinge that is not attatched to them is beyond my comprehension. Dude this is like......our finest hour if we can solve this XDDDDD

Well, it's gotta be in that CAD valve gear database somewhere.

The line was actually shorter than I expected, but the entirety of it followed part of the Midland Terminal's roadbed. There's a point where you can see a road below that was built upon the F&CC line, which is also long since gone.
The throaty American whistles mounted on these locomotives suit the line quite well, being originally Standard gauge and all...
